text_original: He granted to most of the monasteries of the kingdom the right to hold their lands free of all condition except that they would " pray for the welfare of the Emperor and Empire ". This meant that large tracts of lands became immune from the obligation of military service, and the strength of the Empire was proportionally weakened. When, soon after Louis' accession, Pope Leo died, his successor Stephen was consecrated without the Imperial sanction.
